Answer
Mountain building caused by a Convergent plate boundary between the colliding Indian and the Eurasian plates.
Explanation:
The country of India is located on the Indian Plate and is currently colliding with the Eurasian plate which is creating the Himalayan Mountain Range along with other structural geologic formations.
Convergent Plate Boundary's are the result of two plates colliding with each other this could be oceanic-continental, oceanic-oceanic, and continental-continental. The Indian and Eurasian plates are both continental, there is no subduction between the two plates so no volcanism is present in the area.
(On maps the Indo-Australian Plate is sometimes combined with the Indian Plate but they are widely considered separate).
